November and a different bike
1 week ago
Thrash 'em Motorcycles was created while starting restoration work on a 1968 BSA B25 Starfire. I've always loved British motorcycles and now have the chance to keep the Starfire and a recently acquired BSA B44 Victor Special in need of restoration on the road.
Nice...no motor? Was it a 250 or 441 originally? If it has no motor I'd be tempted to try and find a Triumph unit 500 twin motor, and build a TriBsa. Congratulations on the score.
ReplyDeleteNo motor mores the pity, but easy enough to get on eBay from I've seen so far.
ReplyDeleteFrom all indications it's a 441, a look at the frame lug VIN will tell all.
I do want to rebuild as a 441 Shooting Star, but a Tri-BSA did come to mind as well as a possibility Larry.
Or I can use it as parts donor for Vicky if need be.
Not bad for $100.
Damn, forgot....it has a twin leading shoe front brake which is a VERY good thing! :)
